[A tough, iron-willed female general who turns timid the moment she sees the Crown Prince vs. a Crown Prince who's fair-skinned, with a wicked heart and even more wicked hands]
Ji Xuanzheng was a renowned female general of Great Zhou, celebrated for her military achievements.
She guarded the northern frontier. One hundred thousand soldiers obeyed her commands, and no one dared cross the path of her spear.
And today, she had done something huge!
She had kidnapped the Crown Prince!
More precisely, the former Crown Prince. Not only had he been stripped of his position as heir, but both his legs had been crippled, too.
But he had a handsome face, and even as a cripple, he still won the favor of a princess from a neighboring kingdom.
The emperor was generous, readily sending his son off for a political marriage.
The wedding procession passed through the northern frontier, and Ji Xuanzheng was ordered to escort it.
But no one could have imagined that she would abuse her position, pull a switcheroo, and kidnap the man back.
Why kidnap him?
Of course, to get revenge!
That's right, she and the former Crown Prince had a grudge. A huge one!
Back then, he was the Crown Prince, so she couldn't do anything to him. Now that he had fallen into her hands, she was determined to show him just how cruel the world could be!
With a long whip in hand, she strode forward with swagger!
Under the worried gazes of her subordinates, she kicked the door open and then slammed it shut behind her.
Inside, a man sat in a wheelchair by the window, proud and elegant as the moon over the mountains.
Hearing the noise, he looked up from his book and glanced over calmly.
Ji Xuanzheng tightened her grip on the whip, stared at him with a cold expression, took a deep breath, and said, "Your, Your Highness, are you hungry? Would you like something, something to eat...?"
The man set the book on his lap, straightened his sleeve, and slowly curled his lips into a smile.
"Oh? General Ji, why are you holding a whip?"
Ji Xuanzheng said, "I, I brought it for you to play with..."

Later, the former Crown Prince returned to court. Not only had his legs healed, he also gradually reclaimed his position as Crown Prince.
On the day he ascended the throne, the ministers all thought, "Well, damn," and couldn't help feeling sorry for General Ji of the Ji family. They had heard that before His Majesty took the throne, she had kidnapped him and subjected him to all manner of humiliations. Who knew what sort of revenge she would face now?
Ji Xuanzheng trembled. "If I die on the battlefield now and have my body wrapped in a horse blanket, is it still in time?"
The former Crown Prince, now the new emperor, said, "Heh, too late."
#Taking the most timid approach to walk the wildest path.
